End of AccountEdge support for macOS High Sierra & Mojave

Use of AccountEdge with macOS 10.13 High Sierra and 10.14 Mojave became unsupported in March 2024 with the release of AccountEdge Pro and AccountEdge NE 2024 (build 33.0.6.5).

From March 2025, AccountEdge 33.0.22.4 or later will no longer operate on these macOS's.

MacOS High Sierra and Mojave received their final Apple updates in 2020 and 2021 respectively and as a result, current versions of AccountEdge will no longer operate on these macOS's.

Customers requiring the latest version of AccountEdge must be using macOS 10.15 Catalina or later.

UK Payroll Users

Payroll users require AccountEdge Build 33.1.1.1 to process pays from 6 April 2025.

Please check this system requirements page before upgrading.

Can I continue using my older AccountEdge?

Upgrading to AccountEdge Build 33.1.1.1 or later is only mandatory for customers requiring UK Payroll updates and tax tables for processing pays from 6 April 2025.

If you do not use UK Payroll and wish to continue using AccountEdge 2024 (build 33.0.6.5) or earlier, you are of course free to do so.

Customers submitting Making Tax Digital VAT Returns to HMRC can continue to use AccountEdge 2021 or later, however should an update be required in respect to VAT compliance changes, these will only be made available in the latest version. We will inform clients if such a change is expected.

What are my computer's upgrade options?

You should consult Apple or your IT administrator about your options for upgrading your computer's macOS.

Before performing any macOS upgrade, you should ensure the compatibility of all your business critical software and hardware, and ensure you have an external backup of your AccountEdge company data.
